ROXIE

This build was so much fun as this couple knew exactly what they wanted and had already experienced van life in their previous smaller van. 

Roxie was designed for year round travel and off grid wild camping. Every element of this build was considered around the way its owners actually live - shaped by a genuine love of the outdoors with mountain biking being at the heart of their lifestyle.

The garage became one of the most important elements of their design. It needed to carry their bikes and all the kit that comes with them, while remaining practical and accessible. We fitted a large pull out gear tray that holds two bikes with space for kit. A rear bulkhead was fitted with hooks, a shelf and clever bungee storage to keep necessary kit within easy reach. The outdoor shower was fitted as standard to  be used as a dedicated bike/kit washing station also. A roof rack provides additional space to carry winter kit, as well as creating a fantastic place to sit and take in the surrounding mountain views.

The brief for the inside was that of a mountain cabin with warm wood and shades of greens. Both front  seats were fitted with swivel plates and we installed belted seats in the back to make a cosy dining area and  future proof their van. The toilet/shower cubicle was perfectly sized; enough space to ensure they had an indoor hot shower during the ski season. The kitchen has ample storage and a large 98L fridge/freezer with a granite style worktop adding to the mountain cabin feel.  The portable induction hob gives them freedom to move cooking outside whenever the setting allows, from evening meals after a day on the trails to coffee on quiet  mountain mornings. With a place to climb up on the roof rack, Roxie offers a way to slow down, enjoy the views and take in the surroundings to decide your adventure of the day.

Roxie has enabled many multiple month long adventures in the mountains as well as endless smaller biking trips.This van was built for muddy bikes, wild camps, cold mornings and a comfortable warm place to rest and relax.  From the Alps and the Pyrenees to snowy biking adventures in Scotland,  Roxie’s owners know all the best places to go.
